- Sea Ray refers to the SLX 400 OB as “The Entertainer” and that description is spot on. The original SLX 400 with sterndrives won the Innovation Award. This takes that same boat to the next level with outboard power, thereby meeting the demands of a growing market segment.

I would like to see a full windscreen option and an extended cover over the cockpit for sun protection. Ditto at the front.
Love the dual consoles .
That's a really nice boat. Great video
Thank you for watching!
love the new animations
Thank you! ; )
Excellent review!
It's a good ships!
It's exciting to see the new boat!
Beautiful boat
Some boat !!! Perfect !!
I’m confident C.N. Ray would be pleased with Brunswick Corp’s management, Quality & growth of his namesake.
Brunswick worked wonders for Hatteras. Kept em from going under
It's shows good... Thank you
Nice boat Captain
CPT Steve tnx! I'm not a fan of the outboards but I like this one too. I'd throw a solar panel on top and keep a portable in storage to power that generator for the lithium batteries. ♿🇺🇸
I wasn't a fan of them - they seemed a bit like a jumped-up dinghy rather than a real boaty boat - but the more I find out about them on this sort of size of boat the more I like them.
Nice! Now you gotta do the 400 slx-r with trip 450r's. Plus the 320 sundancer Outboard, and the brand new 370 sundancer outboard.
Jake S yes we do! And soon you will see! 😊
I'm dyin' to see a review of any SLX-R's! Have a Regal 2500 now. SLX-R 350 or 400 will be my next boat....... one day. Lol.
Can you slap the new Mercs V12 600 on it? Maybe the R-Version?
love the new intro
nice job copying my comment!
no problem...
Helo! How many passengers does the speedboat hold? Day and night. Thanks!
I'm curious why you continue to split your review videos in two? I'd kinda' understand if you were monetizing the videos, but you're not. So why not release the performance and features video all at once?
Thanks for writing. There are times we do this depending on the boat size, but usually we find that it’s better to split because of running time. There is so much detail we go into. Thanks
I prefer it like this! It allows them to keep on providing details without having a very long video
Storage? Hell that’s damn near a crews quarters!😀
why is the water black
Plot Twist : he's actually an Admiral.
Lekker man lekker
Love all your vids but can you start putting in prices at what these boats cost
At the moment we can’t because every dealer has their prices ans many of these boats are custom but please check out Boattest.com where we usually list the base price.
Yeah I understand that but I was hoping you’d say at least the base price and I know there’s features and upgrades or anything just like cars would be nice just have the base price getting into one of these boats. Still love the detailed vids
I did a build at the sea ray site and it came in right at 800k
...As the old saying goes: "Son, if you have to ask how much; you can't afford it".
Can someone explain this trend of putting outboards on boats with 3 ft+ drafts? Too big, heavy, and expensive to beach, but nowhere to store and launch a tender when you realistically anchor in 6’ of water.
Jake S, there is reasoning. First off, there is better fuel economy, maybe not with triplets but with double outboard power, it has better economy than with stern drives. Also, WAY easier to repair, do engine checks, and believe it or not it is even sometimes quieter than inboards.
The trend is because the market is rejecting sterndrive and inboard engines and is using the boats as day boats only, pretty much. People seem to have less leisure time, and are not into long distance cruising. And certainly easier to fix on your own.
I wonder what the engine up draft is? Less maintenance, drives come out of the water, no risers and manifolds to check and replace. More space in the boat. More power to weight. No giant hole in your transom.
"who needs power in the first place?" meaning once you include all of these accessories and as pictured plainly and obviously here "you need outboard power to free up the interior space for that." No one wants their electronics in the salt with obviously the exact opposite of that being true. An outboard motor only needs to start and run to provide the reliability of both
A: displacement (more water leaving the hull than entering as the bare minimum) but more importantly now
B: a dry hold period as imagine the cost in replacing and rewiring all of these systems with only a weather event as responsible let alone the ahem "mere Ocean" ahem.
Good question tho!
These are all valid points, but if you have a 40 ft boat, you’re probably using it to island hop or cross florida to bahamas or any number of other boating activities that may involve exploring different islands/beaches. Well once you get to the beach, how do you get off the boat if there’s no dock to tie up at? The usability of these boats for that specific (but extremely common) boating lifestyle activity is very poor, and my original point still stands.
